I feel like people aren’t recognizing how much integrity Phil has as both a reviewer and a CEO of a cubing retailer. Most stores would be wayyy to apprehensive to trash the performance of a product that’s very recently released, but Phil goes the extra mile for customers in offering his concise, genuine thoughts on a product that’s beneath the threshold of acceptable quality - very publicly. I can’t think of another company that sells retail items that would hold manufacturers accountable in a way remotely similar to this. It speaks volumes about TheCubicle and how much they value the customer’s cubing experience.
The way Phil called it a boomer G perm makes me think. We need a “roast me” series from top end speedcubers where some of us lesser folk submit solves and instead of trying to be nice and help us improve they just absolutely roast how we do our methods and go wild
I am still living in the past going almost 30 years ago when everything was fixed and extremely static. 8 years old and building up diesel arms exercising with a Meffert's ball puzzle. It stood the test of time.
I just bought the diansheng solar and I actually quite liked it. Out of the box it had a pretty unique feel, in a way that I can best describe as "cloudy." In terms of turning and corner cutting it wasn't anything special, I was largely just taken away by both the sound and especially the feel of it. It sort of feels like a slightly worse RS3 Super, but this one felt a lot better out of the box with no setup. It's definitely not bad for the price, but there's better for cheaper
don't suspect anyone remembers it but the kungfu longyuan 3x3 performed very much like the yufeng seems to, without the features if course. the mechanism and plastic seems really similar, and that lockup that phil got right at the start sounded *exactly* like the longyuan did
I think the last good 3x3 ShengShou put out was the FangYuan actually, but regardless of when their last good 3x3 was they’re still running on brand recognition from when they dominated the big cube market
Honestly I don’t think they even have brand recognition anymore. Vast majority of cube sales come from underage kids using their parents’ money, and I highly doubt any of them know shengshou’s history.
The sloppy, flawed but full-of-magnets cube might be useful to use as a fridge magnet. Or a desk paperweight that also holds onto your paperclips. Please recycle plastic responsibly. 😉
Sorry about the audio guys! The mic levels got a bit messed up, so you'll probably notice some clipping. We'll have it fixed for next time.
Sounds like there is water in my phone lol! But great video guys!
@@Anthony_Jiang You could have possible watched only 3min of it by the time you commented lol
@@nikmrn yeah but you hear the clipping legit the instant u play the vid lol
@@Hermanator1124 Yeah, but you can't say "great vid" without even having watched the entire vid lol
@@nikmrn OHHHH!! my bad lol was kinda confused. thanks for the clarification haha

Phil's face at 2:23 is priceless 🤣
Agreed
So true, he found a new main lol, just for adjusting settings
Universal truth
Yea kinda reminded me of a 4 yer old getting him fav chocolate
His*
We need more cubes that make funny sounds when adjusting the elasticity, just to see Phils reaction.

like with tymon but with slower people

4:59 phill, u forgot your Amazon package!
when you don't want to turn the YuFeng M but it is part of your career
I'm so excited so see what cubing is like this year!!!

wait you are a redstoner and a cuber?
@@akiomiguelabadicio does this has to do something with redstone ?
8:40 we needed that boom effect to be like 10x louder
I like it how Phil laughed at 3:29, wanna see more of that reaction hahaha
2:27 I respect the perfect pitch
I need to get the Solar M just for the musical adjustment system...
don't suspect anyone remembers it but the kungfu longyuan 3x3 performed very much like the yufeng seems to, without the features if course. the mechanism and plastic seems really similar, and that lockup that phil got right at the start sounded *exactly* like the longyuan did
I love Phils face when he is changing the tensions.
9:12 look at the orange center cap
Did not expect the ending!
Thankyou for uploading again
Great to see all of the new cubes!
its still hard to believe that the owner of the best cube store ever is a rare breed of zz users lol
Dude, Phil has perfect pitch? I need to see some cubicle musician action
Awesome video!!
You couldn't even have possible watched the video by the time you commented
the fact that i rushed to my piano and it is in fact a G natural...
Well I just can't scroll past that title XD Phil keeps it real haha. I did the same thing with G perm, i re learned the same 2 you guys re-learned lol
as a perfect pitch asshole i can confirm that the spring in the Solar is making a G natural pitch, though sometimes it peaks into G sharp
correct lol

Wait, this was actually a g natural!
Phil has perfect pitch confirmed?
I was thinking the exact same thing! 😂
He is quite musical so I wouldn’t be surprised if he has perfect pitch
2:21 Wow, that's impressive. Phil has good note recognition lol.
2:27 Can confirm that is a G natural. I didn't know Phil have perfect pitch.
I've never seen a Diangsheng make someone so happy
2:27 PHIL HAS PERFECT PITCH TOO? YOOOOOOOOO
You have perfect pitch? I’m jealous
LMFAO I think watching your sheer delight at every single *PLOINK* was the best thing I've seen all day 🤣
2:23 Cutest Phill EVER !
I like his reaction to the “bing” noise 🤣 lol
I think that sengso will be a good brand and wont be like how they were.
2:23 Phils reaction 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Phil has perfect pitch🤣🤣
super nice video ❤️🔥 stay as you are
0:17 why sengso? IT IS SHENGSHOU. WHY???!!
What Is the timer app you use
Obviously I'll never be as good a cuber as Phil because I don't have perfect pitch
Hello phil cant wait for stream
phil playing with the solar:
doing, Phil: OOH NEW TOY
that first cube when the inside ring is turned it sounds like a google chat notification sound
I think the inner three-year-old Phil showed up in this video
Loved it
i loved phil yoos reaction when he compressed the cube and then said pingggg
phil yoo
Phill gotta be one of the most funny shop owners ever
phil really pulled out the "please change and grow as a person" card on diansheng lmao
The solar will forever be known as the ‘G natural cube’
Does Phil have perfect pitch?
@@adixxx3056 he probably has, It was between an g natural and a g flat, but closer to g natural
@@arthurhaag9434 that's really cool
"think that was a g natural" LMFAO IT IS
when did phil have perfect pitch??
He is a classically trained violinist
@@gelgorod2 yeah ik, but does he actually have perfect pitch or is it some form of quasi perfect pitch
2:22 reaction 😂😹
confirmed, it is indeed a G natural
You unboxed them on stream.
2:22 hmmm, good cowbell
huh didn't know that Phil has perfect pitch
“MOM MY CUBE IS PLAYING A HARMONIC MINOR SCALE HELP!!!”
Is the Moyu Rsm a good cube?
THE WAFFLE HOUSE HAS FOUND ITS NEW CUBE
did the cube just make another G natural when you set it on the table at 2:50
2:23 WAIT THAT WAS ACTUALLY A G NATURAL
Yes, I have perfect pitch
He plays violin
I think
4:36 I wish I can do G perm as fast like that
First ever vid in 2023?!
I purchased my first skewb, and 5x5 on the cubicle. But idk how to solve either lol
Lmao the diansheng went "peeeew" 💀
this is how i found out phil has perfect pitch lmao
I love how he immediately goes "Its a G natural" What a asian lmao.
when cubes become musical instruments
Since GAN lied to us last year (they did not make a 5x5 and a Square-1 in 2022), so they might (please) make it in 2023
What do you mean by the MS plastic change?
"the holes are really big"-phil
What timer app is that on your phone?
it was indeed a G natural
Somebody pls tell🙏🙏🙏🙏. Should I learn f2l algorithmically or intuitively??? I average 17 seconds.
Very late but, start intuitive then do algorithms
That second cube seems like if you hold it the wrong way, the entire thing will just explode into its poorly manufactured pieces
2:05 Slowly*
This is the first time I heard Phil in a high voice.😂😂🤣
I love you guys 😂😂
What method do the cubicle team use
Can you pay in euros on the cubicle?
Just hearing the squakiness of the second cube made me wanna quit cubing
Can we take a moment to appreciate how handsome is bearded Jesse, please
2:13 to 2:40 phil's age was halved

8:52 No!
Wakanda forever
DianSheng Funny Noise M(aker) 3x3
I really like Shengshou and was hoping this would be good. The Mr.M was so bad (I got 4 and all 4 had issues)
I almost bought both of those cubes just for the hell of it
what app is that ?
you love a compressing the 12 dollar cube.
I just buyed the yufeng
very nice 👌
It looks like YJ MGC 3 ELITE cubem
The vid is still good though :]
Hi
No but phil has perfect pitch?
Don't forget to pick up your Amazon package if you haven't already.
hey nice cls on that +2 lol
